“@Tenjin37151 @Space_Station @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew @NASA @esa @JAXA_en @astro_kimbrough @Astro_Megan @Thom_astro @Aki_Hoshide As described in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (great book), a linear accelerator would be great for the moon. Earth’s gravity is too high & atmosphere too dense for accelerators to be a good solution vs reusable boosters imo.”

“@WholeMarsBlog If you don’t say anything & engage Autopilot, it will soon guess based on time of day, taking you home or to work or to what’s on your calendar”
“@levie Tickets to orbital hotels, the moon and Mars will be a lot less than people think.”
“@BasedBeffJezos @Scobleizer @trengriffin The difficulty of communicating with Mars varies tremendously, with the worst case being when it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. For terabit-level bandwidth, the best option is probably a series of laser communication satellites at varying distances from the Sun…”

“@yourfavgas Probably 6 months or so. 301 is certainly fine for orbit, but SpaceX 30X will be better.”

“@DJSnM The ISS requires a lot of care and feeding. Time to say goodbye and move on to the Moon and Mars.”
“@Erdayastronaut @sivanithu @tobyliiiiiiiiii @cabral_psyd @imatsb @thesheetztweetz @SciGuySpace @Some1gee @RocketLab @Peter_J_Beck I have great respect for anyone who gets a rocket to orbit! It’s very hard. I’m spending crazy hours on Starship design/production. It is truly an honor to work with such great engineers. SN4 is almost done 😀”
“RT @DimaZeniuk: One year ago today Falcon Heavy boosters made a successful landing https://t.co/MsidCOLP2K”
“@Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @TheFavoritist The ship rings are thicker than they need to be (for now), so same thickness works for booster & ship for hoop stress. Booster lower tank will have longitudinal stiffeners to prevent buckling.”

“@thesheetztweetz @waEMD @SpaceX @SpaceXStarlink @WANationalGuard Starlink will be a revolution in connectivity, especially for remote regions or for emergency services when landlines are damaged”
“RT @SpaceX: Splashdown of Dragon confirmed! https://t.co/XG1ANHLtMN”
“@peterrhague @Space_Station @SpaceX I think we need to move on from this ancient space station. If necessary, deep space Starship missions with astronauts can fill the gap.”
“@JeffTutorials @agokimpian @Vancity_Tesla @WholeMarsBlog @teslaownersSV Depends on how the limited beta goes. If it goes well, maybe a month or so.”
“@Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace Last launch aborted due to slightly high power. Possibly, but not obviously, related to today. This vehicle has seen a lot of wear, so today isn’t a big surprise. Life leader rockets are used only for internal missions. Won’t risk non-SpaceX satellites.”
“@ajtourville It is how most of the space industry makes rocket tanks. Works, but is expensive and production is slow.”
“@NASA @SpaceX @NASAKennedy Congratulations!”

“@cb_doge Great question. We need to get a move on with Starship!”
“@FutureJurvetson Boeing and Lockheed moved their rocket production from California to Alabama. SpaceX took over an abandoned aerospace building in LA County and turned it into the highest volume rocket producer in the world. That was because I lived in California.”
“RT @Starlink: Starlink provides high-speed connection even in the most rural locations 🛰️🌄”
“RT @SpaceX: Dragon has separated from Falcon 9’s second stage https://t.co/9yvLEVSfSW”
“@Scobleizer @trengriffin It would be accurate to say that physics and the Starlink system design enable it to be the fastest long distance communication system, but it is not there yet. It will be.”
“@TeslaOwnersEBay @WholeMarsBlog @teslaownersSV @MadonnaInn @telsa @SjvTesla @TeslaClubSoCal @TeslaClubLA @TeslaOwnersNBay @MyTeslaAdventur @teslaownersriv1 @OCTeslaClub @Tesla Depends mostly on FAA certification, but hopefully within 6 months. We’re testing on Gulfstreams to debug issues, but deployment priority is commercial airliners.”
“@Erdayastronaut @PPathole @SpaceX We’re pretty close to the manufacturing size limit for a milled copper & steel jacket nozzle. Lot of complexity to add a nozzle extension to a sea level engine for small gain. Also hard to fit bigger engine nozzles on the booster.”
“@SpaceX The most advanced rocket engine ever made by far. Raptor 3 and subsequent versions will make life multiplanetary and progress civilization towards Kardashev II.”

“@Erdayastronaut @rweb11742 Merlin is a strong local maximum design, but kerosene is suboptimal fuel, no matter what you do. What matters is cost per ton to Mars. CH4 is the only choice imo. Important: O2/CH4 allows OF ratio of ~3.5 vs ~2.5 for kerosene, so ~78% of propellant is oxygen.”
